Days pass by

The days have been passing by here in England. Snow has taken its toll of getting the day to day mundane things done. England never has, and I guess never will, get the hang of snow. The first snowflake brings the country to a halt, we seem ill prepared to deal with the effects of snow, or perhaps ill prepared to accept the changes we should make because of snow.

I've been attending my meetings and feeling that I am part of the fellowship which is nice. There has been no axe to grind or resentments to feed so life has been stable on the alkie front. Its a nice period to have, one which I know will change at some point, for better or worse who knows. But just relaxing back into the comfort of AA has been good. I have been working with a sponsee on step 6 and talking about how the decisions we make affect our lives for years to come sometimes forever. And that if we make those decisions based on being liked by people we are apt to trip up and end up resenting or worse drinking over what we perceived should have happened and didn't.

We are just off to next door to look at the couples house as they are leaving and we will rent it from them so that My Beautifuls father can live next door. It will be almost a year now since his wife died so the timing will be poignant. It will be good having him close by and good for Beautiful to be able to spend time with him on a daily basis. Its something to show gratitude for in the midst of job losses, illness and fear for the future.

We are both fine and getting on with our days, love is in the air constantly and that is both comforting and a blessing. So I guess in the scheme of things we don't have anything to grumble about.

Take care all of you and have a good weekend.
